    Hai-hai-hai!!

    Final game from me before I take off on me holiers for a few weeks.

    I mentioned before I wanted to run a Peehs that was entirely based on a certain topic.

    Well here - it - is!!

    giphy.gif

    Welcome to Peehs: The Video Game Edition!

    All questions will be based around video games that a lot (not all) would play. I've tried to be as inclusive as I possibly can with the questions in order for non-players to give it a rattle if they want. There will be a couple of toughies there though to separate the wheat from the chaff ;)

    The premise is simple in Peehs - Answer my questions in the most unique way you can - don't be a sheep!!

    Wrong answers will be scored at 1.5 times the highest answer.

    Oh - and the stickler...

    no-google.gif


    NO GOOGLE

    So without further adieu allow me to present the questions...


    1. Name a video game that was made into a movie
    2. Name a games console made after 1990
    3. Name a character in any version of Street Fighter 2
    4. Name a Final Fantasy game
    5. Name a FPS (first-person shooter) game
    6. Name a city (real or fictional) that featured in a Grand Theft Auto game
    7. Name a sports simulation game
    8. Name a starring character in a Nintendo game
    9. Name a city in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
    10. Name a text-only based computer game.

    Entries will close at 8pm on Wednesday, 26th June with the reveal to take place at circa 9.30pm.

    Best of luck folks :)

    I was praying for a peehs. Then you go and add in my two favorite things. Games and not googling in these forum games.

    Excitement overload.

    Spoiler to some answers there :D

    I messed up with one of mine. Been so long since I played Skyrim I was convinced the only answer I could think of was actually in Witcher 3 instead.

    So does that mean hand held console games are included in the questions ?

    Twas actually its predecessor Oblivion that was my highest timesink. Got the edition with all the DLC.... bloody brilliant.

    Yeah they're still milking the online game for all it's worth so will likely be another 3 years at the least imo.

    Yeah same here! Ended up just making the answer up.

    Maybe I’m being greedy or am a victim of the instant gratification culture we have become but the lead time on some of these sheep/peehs/heeps games seems very long

    Do we really need a week for 10 questions?

    Sorry for the hijack, but wasn't sure where to ask this and I couldn't see any info...

    Are there any rules around when or who can create sheep / Peehs games?

    Have a couple of ideas I'd like to do.

    Green&Red asked the question about the scorer that was used, The Sheepulator!

    This is the one that I used to run this game and its free download for anyone that wants to take it and run Sheep games of their own. Instructions are included. https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showpost.php?p=53320056&postcount=82

    This is also the reason why I asked for Unnumbered lists to be pm'ed into me. Lists with numbers mean I have to edit the answer files that get added into the sheepulator. A minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless lol :D


    If anyone downloads it and wants to try it out and has any questions, my door is always open. But I may not be in, so bear with me ;)
